Straight line, yeah. Get it on a road course and the Ferrari would walk all over it.

Yeah should be in the 12s. Depends on who's driving though, and how hard he wants to drive it. Wonder what a clutch job costs for one of those Guess the owner really wouldn't care about the cost though.

With the launch control activated, the F430 can only do 4 (citing TopGear) launches before frying the clutch which I am sure runs several grand or more.
